When you’re U2, you don’t sign ‘restictive covenants’ or ‘non-competes’


Apple and Blackberry may be direct competitors in the world of mobile phones, and Bono’s image may be indellibly and permanently stamped onto every iPhone and iPod Touch, but do you think Blackberry cares about that?  And U2 needs as much extra scratch as possible to help pay for all those nice folks helping to move The Claw all around the globe on this tour.  If Steve Jobs is feeling bad that his former pitchmen are now selling Blackberry, well, that’s too damn bad.  Because when you’re U2, you don’t sign a restrictive covenant or an agreement not to compete.  Pretty good video too.
